Yeah, handy for knowing you back foot is in the spot and a good anchor for the knee to protect the board when duck diving!
I do like the arch bar on full sized tail pads though, i feel like you get more leverage rail to rail having your foot elevated on the arch, kind of like a domed deck.

Yeah I'm pretty front footed. It took a while to adjust with plenty of hit and miss moments but I really enjoy the SP now.

I kinda have to get with the program since i recently bought a sp and a pn. Both need to be surfed from the backfoot. Is there a difference in backfoot pressure between the both, i mean does the pn need a similar approach when it comes to backfoot surfing?
Plus, i was wondering whether the transition to backfoot surfing improved your overal surfing performance.
Perhaps even on boards which you normally surf frontfooted?

Safe, Sven

I would say surfing is more Blackfoot orientated I sometimes struggle after been on my snowboard for a season you drop to the bottom a bog a rail due to too much front for pressure.
I would say you need to be more dynamic when surfing shifting body weight forward and back to sute different manovers.

Ha yeh very recognisable.
Every winter i wonder why my snowboard isn't turning how it is supposed to and in the summer vica versa on my surfboard.
Little thick i suppose.
I think i can gain progress being more conscious about my surfing, it's mainly going with the flow at the moment.
Thanks !

Had a decent surf this morning on the sp. I used the Simon Anderson large set to try something new. It actually worked really well i found it to have loads of drive while still being manoeuvrable for my skill level. I need the great way it holds instead of being real loose.
You gatto love the sp it's such a likeable person to be with.
